Leave it alone yes, the point is that is cannot be taken as an object for thought, or a goal to be reached, it can only be a lived experience, and all contrivances and conceptualisation distort its true nature.Azidonis wrote:This is fine.

If nothing establishes identity from moment to moment, but something appears as thought it is establishing identity moment to moment (otherwise where is the existence?), then what to do with what appears to establish an identity? Just leave it alone and forget about it?
Where is the existence in a dream? Yet still there is some continuity, although I'm not sure it could be called an identity.
